Your March Look At Prototype Screens Is Here
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 10:30 AM on March 29, 2008
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that might actually be a Mercenaries 2 screen, based on the explosions and helicopters and palette and such. Sorry, but it's Prototype. There's no lack of things exploding in this updated look at Sierra's superhuman action game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. They even throw in some bluish skies to mix it up! Blue skies, punching, blood, 'splosions and helicopters?! Fabulous!

This looks sweet. Very, very sweet.
Still want mercenaries 2 though. :( Hopefully there will be no more delays.

I want a Frankenreview of Dark Sector, Prototype, and Infamous.

@Fatass of Kickassness: Update in visual quality? Watch it in motion, then revisit this statement.

Wasn't this the game that had that real clean silvery feel to it or was that another game. I forget.

@Polywhirl:
Why will it fall apart completely?
I, and a lot of the gaming world, LOVED Hulk: UD. It sits right beside Spiderman 2 as one of the best superhero single player experiences out there.

Sure there are other colors... but the base tone of the game is brown and more brown.
Like "Batman Begins" was a very "purple" show... it still had other colors. The blue shot is equivalent to going outside after a movie and the sun is still up... that much brightness after a long period of dark is just startling!!

You asked for it. I mean, literally. Only here to help out y'know.

If it's overwhelming like Hulk:UD was, it'll fall apart completely. The reason I never got into Hulk is because you're constantly bombarded with missiles. There's no let-up . Sure, they do no damage, but the clutter the screen, mess up your actions and piss you off. It drove me insane.
So, yeah, they better manage it better.

I see green grey orange yellow blue and brown. The lot of you are color blind.
I'm riding on this to be a well done sandbox game. I didn't enjoy Mercenaries or Crackdown too much, so here's hoping.

I wish you could choose your powers, that would be pretty nifty.
But the game looks great anyhow,it just got on my games radar.

Bluish? How dare the developers miss that. Add brown and grey to it this instant. Go!

This is one of my most anticipated games ever. The Hulk was so awesome and this game looks MUCH better.

When is this game coming out, again? It certainly is showing promise, though it definitely needs an update in visual quality.

@nikolajz1: Dark Sectors first trailer looked like a scifi/cyberpunkesque spy game, then it got turned into a post-apocolyptic infection romp.

I definitely have more interest in Prototype than Mercs 2, even though I'll most likely get both. I saw the gameplay vids and it looks awesome running and leaping on car windshields. I love the Crackdown vibe I'm getting from this game, but the shapeshifting stuff looks like it could really be a lot of fun. It's crazy that you can turn into anyone in this fantasy setting of NYC. I can't wait to see what they can do with this game when it's near completion. It's only at around 40% right now, so expect the visuals to get a bump before release. But the visuals already look very nice in motion. Much nicer than these screens would lead you to believe.

Games set in Manhattan = bring them on! Just make sure they don't suck please ("turning point" springs to mind as the most recent abuse of the world of oppurtunity that is games set in NY), hopefully GTAIV will give a real sense of the place even if they did rename everything.

I saw the game running at the GDC talk they presented. It has some nice features, but even with the innovation in some areas looked like it would get boring after an hour.

Seems like they've made a few changes to the main character's appearance. Hmmm, he's a slimmer looking dewd now.

It looks cool. Almost has a kind of "Akira" feel going on. Here's hoping for you turning into a giant blob dude.

I'm a bit worried about this game, I think it may be a bit disappointing (not bad, just another Assassin's Creed).
Also, I'd much rather just have Crackdown 2.
